Schematic illustration of the circadian clock that regulates the photosynthetic production of the tea plant. A computational model was developed to study the circadian clock control of photosynthesis using a regulatory network composed of the light-sensitive protein P, core oscillator, and photosynthetic metabolic outputs. In this model, solid lines blunt at the terminal ends represent genes exerting inhibitory effects in a negative feedback loop, while arrows indicate genes that have an activating role in the regulatory network. A lightning symbol denotes transcription activation of specific genes by light.
